Hello,

I have tried deploying this solution in my Proxmox environment. Out of all the tools out there, this looks like exactly what I need.
However, I had one gamebreaking issue right after deployment.

Issue reproduction:

  1. After the initial setup and configuration, I have set an admin password for the admin username., and generated a secret
  2. The WebUI kicked me out immediately and asked me to log in
  3. The password I had just set (and saved in Proton Pass Manager) would not be accepted (invalid credentials)
  4. The username would get locked out (as expected)
  5. In the .env file inside the LXC container, the password appeared to be hashed.
  6. Replaced the password with another one in clear in .env file - ADMIN_PASSWORD=your-secure-password-here
  7. Rebooted the LXC container
  8. This new password would also not be accepted.

Other observations:

How was the software deployed: Community Script
If setup with security mode as private, the application would work. (Manage to set it up, configure email for alerts, but the alerts would never arrive. Not going to describe this here, as there is another topic for this one by somebody else already open, and I upvoted it).
What else have I tried:

  • Full reinstallation
  • Reinstallation using another method (Docker in Debian 12 template)
  • Snapshot restoration to the moment 0 (right after deployment)

I am out of ideas and I would really like to use this. It looks awesome.
